Vox Populi
Sometimes, you just have to give the people what they want.
And in this case, that’s video of a feature that aired on Red Sox Report about the team getting sized for their World Series rings. It’s neat to watch the guys, because you can practically see them imagining what it will feel like to have that ring — especially the baby Sox, who are quite clearly trying to contain their glee.
But the real star of the piece is Mr. Jason Varitek, who convinces the Jostens rep that he is going to wear his ring on his toe. You know, because he wears a wedding ring on one hand, and his 2004 ring on the other… he doesn’t have room on his fingers. He takes off his song, and proceeds to size his toe himself when the Jostens rep appears a bit freaked out. Jason even signs the form accepting the ring in his toe size, while the rep is all “Are you really serious?” I love prankster Jason.
So, by very, very popular demand, I give you…
Speaking of which: I’m putting out the word now – during the season, if anyone sees anything funny or cute during a game, or on NESN, alert me by email. I’ll try to make sure and get video of those things when possible.
You know me. I’ll be asking you all the time. I forgot to catch it on the replay last night. good stuff as usual.
And by the way, great afro on Coco.

Oh, God, he’s so hot! I think I might have believed him, too, since he usually seems so serious. But seeing him playing a trick like that is awesome. Love the look he gives the camera at 1:55. I love him…
And Oki looks so overwhelmed and adorable!
I thought Tek was serious too until he made that face at the camera. That’s hysterical. Though I feel a little bad for the Jostens guy. Hehe.
some of them weren’t as excited as I expected – Pedroia was like “come on, lets get this shit wrapped up, I got asses to kick.”
I could watch Jacoby do anything, I swear. get fitted for a ring…eat cereal…tie his shoes.
thanks for the vid since i can’t watch nesn i’m glad you always down load the cool stuff..loved the varitek toe ring joke,he’s mister cool in my book..and very sexy lol
TEK IS MADE OUT OF WIN!
and did they get blood taken that day? because some of them look like they have band-aids on them.
Moss looks adorable. And is it just me or is Manny getting his fitted for his left hand (around 2:45)?
And, yes, I think there’s been random steroid tests going on throughout the last week or so.
Makes sense. I hear that their physicals are like intense. Blood Drawn, regular physical, eye exams.
The whole thing.
Texas Gal, I added your link to my news page, I have the screen caps up, but didn’t have the video!
Thanks!
Ooh, new career goal. Official ring sizer for Jostens. How cool would that job be?
Seriously, could Jason be any hotter?
Great video Texas Gal!
moss is defintely adorable…i want to eat him with a spoon
WICKED cool! That typical male, nonchalant yet silently bursting at the seams behavior just cracks me up! Jacoby’s grin is just the BEST!
Does Gagne actually get one?? EWW EWW EWW I hope the engraver uses an “M” instead of an “N”….
I gave Gange the name Gagme when tHEy lost to the blue jays even though they had like an 8 run lead
